Angelina Jolie: Roles
built 258 days ago
For a beautiful woman, Angelina Jolie doesn't necessarily look okay. She looks fragile. She's been getting thinner and thinner ever since her mother died. But she's strong, especially in the role she's chosen to play, and she's in a hurry. The people who travel with her are always amazed by how she bears up when she's barraged by photographers. The people who travel with her are always blinded by the flashbulbs and wonder if something's wrong with her eyes, for she just stares at the photographers as if she's taking them all in, and then moves forward, as if they mean nothing to her at all.

A model at age 16, Angelina Jolie was seen in several music videos, most memorably the Rolling Stones, Lenny Kravitz, Meat Loaf, and the Lemonheads. After dropping her studies at the New York University, Jolie joined the L.A.'s Met Theatre Group alongside Ed Harris and Holly Hunter.

In 2004, Jolie starred alongside Ethan Hawke in the thriller Taking Lives, as Illeana Scott, an FBI profiler summoned to help Montreal law enforcement hunt down a serial killer. The movie received mixed reviews and The Hollywood Reporter concluded, "Angelina Jolie plays a role that definitely feels like something she has already done, but she does add an unmistakable dash of excitement and glamour."[35] She ... provided the voice of Lola, an angelfish in the animated DreamWorks movie Shark Tale; the cast included Will Smith, Martin Scorsese, Renée Zellweger, Jack Black and Robert De Niro. Also in 2004, Jolie had a brief appearance as Franky in Kerry Conran’s Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, a science fiction adventure film shot with actors entirely in front of a bluescreen. Jolie then played Olympias in Alexander (2004), Oliver Stone’s biopic about the life of Alexander the Great. The film failed domestically, with Stone attributing its poor reception to disapproval of the depiction of Alexander’s homosexuality,[36] but it succeeded internationally, with revenue of $139 million outside the United States.[3]

The curious aptitude of Ms. Jolie’s project titles, too, labors on. She just finished shooting Wanted, a film directed by Timur Bekmambetov. Add to that her other forthcoming efforts, Kung-Fu Panda and Atlas Shrugged, and one could almost compose a fitting haiku from IMDB alone—one that very nearly conveys Ms. Jolie’s ever-expanding role on the world’s political stage.
